Diamonds Are Not a Geoengineer's Best Friend Newswise — The field of solar geoengineering revolves around the idea of cooling the globe via the injection of aerosols to reflect sunlight or to thin clouds. One such strategy, stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), aims to mimic the effects of a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes spew sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, which then reflects light back into space, cooling the Earth for potentially a year or longer, as documented in previous eruptions. But sulfate aerosols are not ideal particles to deploy because of their effects contributing to acid rain, degrading the ozone layer and harming human health. Instead, researchers have used large-scale climate models to run virtual solar geoengineering experiments with different particles that could potentially reflect the sun while causing less harm to the environment. Previous such research pointed to a sparkling alternative: diamond dust. However, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, using first-principles calculations that allow them to explore material properties at the atomic and molecular levels, have found it won’t work. Diamond dust from detonation synthesis, the most economical method for large-scale nanodiamond production, could cause an expensive mess, they found. Such particles inevitably contain residual carbon impurities, typically ranging from 1-5% by mass. Even the most...

Even if it made sense to #geoengineer our way out of climate change rather than just reduce emissions, the science lags so far behind. Nevertheless, so much venture capital is already making its way!

Tell me how to #geoengineer so that we stay at 2% old-growth forests.

If you had enough people to help, I would go even further and carve undulating hills like a sine wave!!
Do the fish scales IMMEDIATELY, and work in the undulations as your time allows!!
That is for flat land, we need to terrace hill/mountainsides!!
